October 7, 201411 yr Was reading a post on the P3D official forum about improving visual quality by changing settings in the Nvidia Control Panel Prepar3D profile. Original post here: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=8658.0 Basically in the Nvidia control panel "Prepar3D profile" you force anisotropic filtering to 16x, then switch Antialiasing ON (I used 4x). You then switch FXAA OFF in the P3D sim graphics settings. This has got rid of all my shimmering and any blurries! P3D scenery looks fantastic. Payback is a slight drop in FPS but I haven't noticed any significant stutters or pauses yet. Hope this helps Adam Chillblast Core i5 14600KF Liquid Cooled RTX 4070 SUPER 32GB RAM.

October 7, 201411 yr Author I shall post a screenie as soon as I get home - am at work right now. I have rarely used external "tweaks" for FSX/P3D but the shimmering autogen and airports in P3D was quite irritating so the settings above have made a massive difference in my P3D.

October 7, 201411 yr Thanks for the heads up Adam when I get home I will give it a go - think I have tried it but yah never know Rich Sennett

October 7, 201411 yr Unfortunately nothing is working with my GTX580. Doesn't matter what I do, there's no difference - tend to say no setting is working. I have used Nvidia inspector in former days, but have resetted and applied it with default settings, so this shouldn't interfere any more, right? Maybe someone with a GTX580 also could show me some screenshots with satisfying Nvidia settings? Many thanks!

October 7, 201411 yr Is there any difference between setting these values in Nvidia Control Panel vs using 4x SGSSAA and 16X Anisotropic filtering in Nvidia Inspector?

October 7, 201411 yr No improve for me, instead worst quality image and AA and more shimmering :o Riccardo OS: Windows 10-64 bit, CPU: i7-7700K @4.20 GHz, GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 8GB GDDR5, RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB 3000MHz, MB: MSI Z270
October 7, 201411 yr What's wrong with setting AF 16x in P3D itself? It's already working properly in the sim. All you do is load to a runway (or any place with a low view angle) and try the different settings and you can see the result change before your eyes without having to dink with profiles / reload sim/compare screenshots Steve McNitt
October 7, 201411 yr I was going to ask that myself, Slayer. It works properly in the sim and Nvidia recommends to set it in the application: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/aa-af-guide#1 Anisotropic filtering can be controlled through the NVIDIA Control Panel within the 3D Settings section, however for the best performance and compatibility NVIDIA recommends that users set this to be controlled by the application.

October 8, 201411 yr Is there any difference between setting these values in Nvidia Control Panel vs using 4x SGSSAA and 16X Anisotropic filtering in Nvidia Inspector? Well 4x SGSSAA and above is a huge frame rate hit for most systems. If there is an alternative it is worth investigating. gb. This has got rid of all my shimmering and any blurries! P3D scenery looks fantastic. Payback is a slight drop in FPS but I haven't noticed any significant stutters or pauses yet. Sounds good. Looking forward to a NV CP screen shot too. Also what have you set AF and AA to in P3D itself? gb. YSSY.

October 8, 201411 yr What's wrong with setting AF 16x in P3D itself? Nothing, as forcing outside of P3D will make specular highlights is the water very blurry. This has been the case since 2.0 and continues through to 2.4... I've tried different AA settinsg outside of the sim too and none give me any performance gain... and standard AA modes (2x/4x/8x) look no different, and still shimmers. The only thing I set in the nV control panel is DSR to give in-driver downsampling, giving a greater range of resolutions in the sim.
October 8, 201411 yr edit @ Adam Sorry for beeing a bit stupid, but what is the point of this? Setting 16*AI and 4*AA can't be the point because that's the way to do it and setting it somewhere else than in p3d shouldn't (and on my machine doesn't) change it. Didn't you ever use this settings or do they only have an effect if you set them outside p3d on your machine (easy to test)? - usefull info for people who have such a problem then. p.s.: you are talking about shimmering scenery, not the terrible shimmering of the instruments right?
